New Feature requests

Hi
Could you consider these please?

1. Change the rename confirmation dialogue box to show the number of files that were actually renamed, not the number of total files in the current pass.  It is misleading as even if no file names changed, it says xxxx files renamed, even if no files were actually changed.  It could say "xxx files processed and yyy files changed/updated"

2. Allow you to sort or filter by the files being renamed v the ones not changing to allow you to group them together for easy review rather than have to scroll through the whole list. I.e. filter sort the New Name column or add a new one that flags which have changed and allow you to filter this column.

Screenshots included below.

Keep up the good work
Cheers
Dean

Re: New Feature requests

There are ways of achieving your suggestions with existing options. Let me know what you think.

Suggestion 1

There is an option in the settings named "Skip renaming of unchanged files".

Once you enable it, you will get a different message, something like that:

3 file(s) successfully renamed.
3 file(s) skipped because unchanged.

Suggestion 2

If you have the "Skip renaming of unchanged files" option enabled, after you rename your files the state icon will be different for skipped files. You can sort by the State column then.

If you want to separate the unchanged files prior to renaming, then you can use "Mark only changed" context menu option.
